Introduction to Marketing
Management
Course Marketing has a
key functional role as
the only part of the
organisation which has
proactive contact with
customers; it is the
bridge to the customer
and the consumer. This is
the aspect of marketing
which most people
recognise, and which can
be thought to be
marketing's sole role.
But unless marketers take
an active part at
corporate level it is
unlikely that the
organisation as a whole
will have a customer
focus. A major role for
marketing management is
therefore to encourage
and reinforce a marketing
orientation that
permeates every sector of
the organisation. At
corporate level any
organisation has a
relationship with its
environment - the need
to manage this
relationship should be
obvious, but
unfortunately this
realisation only came to
many British firms in the
take-over battles of the
1970s when they found
that although their
brands might be well
known the organisation
itself was not. Corporate
managers quickly came to
realise the need to use
marketing's core skills
to market the
organisation as well as
its products. After
participating in this
course, you should be
able to: determine
the role and
effectiveness of
marketing in given
circumstances identify
the key stages in the
corporate planning
process establish
management objectives
use key marketing terms
correctly

Personal Magnetism
Course Magnetism can
be generated by any
living creature and

body and increases life
in others. More than
this, any student of
this course may readily
acquire the power to help
others who are deficient
in vitality or who are

Principles of
Remuneration
Course The current
term used to describe the
payment arrangements for
people at work is reward,
and this is associated
closely with the idea of
linking payment to
performance. This, in

linked with the idea of
Human Resource Management
that has the potential to
transform the people
management processes in
and around
organisations. In this
course, we investigate
the strategic approach to
reward, job evaluation
and performance pay.

Marketing Communications
Course Is marketing
communications
essentially just to do
with sales and profits
and activities such as
advertising? Certainly,
you learn in this course
that sales and profits,
together with the tools
and techniques of
advertising, are
important considerations
and tools of marketing
communications. Virtually
all organisations at some
time need effective
marketing communications.
This need cuts across
different types of
organisations from profit
seekers to not-for-profit
organisations, across
different types of
situations and problem
areas such as the need,
say, to minimise adverse
publicity through to the
need to increase public
donations. And it
encompasses the
relatively small local
company through to the
major multi-nationals
operating on a global
basis. Effective
marketing communications
has become even more
important to
organisations, but at
the same time, more
complex and difficult to
plan.

together. Financial
intermediaries come
together in financial
markets and buy and sell
a wide range of financial
assets or securities.

on a particular type of
financial asset. The

prior knowledge of the
financial sector and it
will allow the student to
study the course at their
own pace in their own
home. On completion of
this course the student

Hot Stone Massage
Training Course The
concept of massage
therapy using stones has
been used in many
different cultures for
many years.Tribal Healers
and Village wise women
used rocks from the river
beds and warmed them
either in hot coals or
hot water. By placing
the hot stones on cloth
on the body and arranging
them along the energy
points of the body, this
would help to relax the
muscles and reduce pain
or discomfort, and
therefore support the
healing process. The
placing of the stones is
often followed by a
holistic massage which
proves to result in a
deeper and more intense
treatment as the heat
penetrates the body and
relaxes the muscles and
the cold stones stimulate
the neural pathways and
circulatory
system. This 10 lesson
hot stone massage course
shows the student the
history of hot stone
massage to the modern day
development and use of
hot stone massage
techniques and associated
therapies. The course
focuses upon practical
massage therapy
techniques that can be
learned and practised by
the student, either as a
stand alone therapy in
its own right or as part
of a practicing holistic
therapist’s repertoire
of effective
techniques. The course
shows the student how hot
stone techniques can be
incorporated into
holistic therapeutic
practice which will be
of great value to
practitioners of both the
body working therapies
and also of pure holistic
treatments. Who should
take this course? The
course is completely
stand alone and is aimed
at students who wish to
obtain competence and
experience in a practical
hands-on therapy. No
previous experience is
required as the course
covers the appropriate
basics, but students of
holistic massage will
find that this course
adds another dimension to
their
treatments.Practitioners
of other therapies will
find the course very
useful as it adds another
popular treatment
technique to their
existing
practise. This course
includes “hands on”
based practical training.
The first part of the
course is the distance
learning theory element
which is completed in
your own time and done
entirely from the comfort
of your own home. As you
near the end of your
theory training we will
contact you to arrange
booking you onto your
practical training. The
practical training is run
regularly throughout the

Business Economics
Professional
Course What is
economics about?
Economics is the problem
of using the available
resources as efficiently
as possible so as to
achieve the maximum
fulfilment of society's
unlimited demand for
goods and services. The
ultimate purpose of
economic endeavour is to
satisfy human wants for
goods and
services. The problem
is that whereas wants are
virtually without limit,
the resources - natural
resources, labour and
capital (machinery) -
available at any one time
to produce goods and
services are limited in
supply. Resources are
scarce. This fact of
scarcity means that we
must always be making
choices about what to
produce, how to produce
it and for
whom. Decisions must
be made so that these
scarce resources are
allocated optimally or
efficiently to their end
use. This implies they
could not be used more
beneficially elsewhere.
This is the criterion
economists use to judge
many economic phenomenon
and is the focus of our
study of the economic
approaches to
organisations.

is at an epidemic level,
and the Conscious
Romantic Relationships
course is designed to
create an evolution in
the levels of
introspection, emotional
awareness, and
communicative skills,
needed to make
relationships the
healthy, self teaching,
and lasting experiences
they so often could
be. Couples with
mainly unconscious energy
running through their
relationship run a high
risk of experiencing
repeated difficulties
that eventually lead to
the ending of the
relationship. What is
more painful, is that
many times both partners
still care deeply, and
even still feel love for
one another, and are at
a loss of knowing what
went wrong. If only
they had the knowledge
that they needed to save
the relationship. The
Conscious Romantic
Relationships course will
give you and your partner
the knowledge that you
need to solve long
standing relationship
struggles at last, and
to bring into being
essential changes that
will create a solid,
fulfilling, loving, and
long lasting union.

Conservation Course
Man
is creating an urban
environment where so many
goods are being
concentrated that
consumer desire,
comparable to predatory
instinct, is being over
stimulated. From the
moment a child can hear a
radio or watch a
television, this
instinct is being
stimulated and exploited
by loud, noisy radio and
television advertisements
and garish neon signs and
posters. These adverts do
not merely beg person to
buy, they aim to
convince people that they
need these things and
cannot possibly live
without them. This is the
outcome of mass
production that must find
avenues to sell the
goods. True, these
methods create
employment, but the fact
remains, they are using
up the earth's animal and
mineral resources at an
alarming rate. About
Conservation Conservation
is the wise use of the
earth's resources, so
that they can support,
or sustain, the
generations yet to come.
This can be done in many
ways and in different
situations.

Relaxation Therapy
Course No human being
can function without
stimulation and
challenges, and stress
and stressful situations
very often produce this
challenge. It provides
the excitement, impetus
and motivation but
unfortunately, also the
distress and anxiety. If
we have the ability to
get ready for action,
our bodies also have the
built-in ability to
relax. Through the
parasympathetic nervous
system and quieting of
the endocrine system,
this ability is the
body's natural tendency
to restore to
homeostasis. The
continued, fast-paced
lifestyle very often
keeps the stress-response
activated. These people
are then physically,
mentally and emotionally
unable to relax and are
in need of therapy.
Relaxation Therapy
techniques are useful
skills which can be used
to fight the stress demon
of our times.

Transactional Analysis
Course Eric Berne,
the originator of T.A.,
isolated and defined a
basic unit of social
intercourse - a
transaction. If two or
more people encounter
each other, sooner or
later one of them will
speak or acknowledge the
presence of the others -
a transactional
stimulus. Another will
then say or do something
which is in some way
related to that stimulus
- a transactional
response. In this course
the student is given the
opportunity to study and
examine this transaction
- "I do something and you
do something back" - and
learn how to determine
which part of the
multi-natured individual

Business and the
Environment Course In
1990 the concept of the
environmental management
system (EMS) was new to
many organisations.
However, it has
subsequently developed
very rapidly, becoming
the subject of a number
of international
standards and schemes.
The first national
environmental management
standard, BS7750, was
published in 1992 and the
European Union (or
Community as it was then
called) adopted the same
basic approach in 1993
with the introduction of
its Eco-Management and
Audit Scheme (EMAS). An
international standard,
ISO 14001, replaced BS
7750 in 1996. In this
course we look at how
these standards and
schemes have developed,
the differences between
them, and what benefits
an organisation can
expect to gain from
adopting a recognised
EMS. While neither ISO
14001 nor EMAS prescribe
the level of
environmental performance
to be achieved, they do
require a commitment to
continual improvement.
The extent of this
improvement is for the
individual organisation
to decide and should be
quantified in objectives
and targets where
practicable. At first
glance, continual
improvement may appear to
be a particularly onerous
commitment, but it is
vital if the
environmental management
system is to be seen as
credible by interested
parties. This course
looks at the importance
and benefits of continual
improvement, how it can
be achieved, and how
some of the barriers to
its achievement can be
overcome. Any
organisation undertaking
a programme of continual
improvement needs not
only to establish
procedures for its work
processes but also to
regard all procedures,
and the processes to
which they relate, as
being capable of
improvement. This course
focuses on what is
involved in improving
work procedures and
processes in order to
reduce the environmental
impacts of your
organisation. A sudden
environmental crisis -
such as a large fire,
explosion, release of
toxic gas or major water
pollution incident - is
probably the most feared
occurrence by individuals
with responsibility for
an organisation's
environmental
performance. However,
slow-acting pollution
incidents can create a
crisis that damages not
only the environment but
also the organisation,
both financially and in
terms of its
reputation - and the
reputation of its
products - among the
public. Emergency
planning is required to
deal with any incident
that could result in loss
of life, ill health or
damage to the
environment.

Biology A Level
About
A Levels A levels are
subject-specific
qualifications normally
studied after GCSEs or
International GCSEs,
though they are
appropriate at any age to
gain a qualification in a
subject in which you are
interested. The
qualification is made up
of two levels: the AS
level and the A2 level.
The AS level is the first
half of a full A level
and is a qualification on
its own. The A2 level
builds on the knowledge
gained from both the AS
level, as well as the
GCSE level. Both the AS
and A2 levels and
examinations must be
successfully completed to
gain a full A
level. Students usually
take 1 year to complete
the AS and a further year
to complete the A2 - so a
full A level usually
takes two years. This
fast track A level,
however, lets you
complete the course in
half the time (i.e. one
year instead of two
years). The fast track A
level works in exactly
the same way and you get
the same certificate as
you would on the two-year
course. A levels are
highly valued by schools,
colleges and employers.
They are at level 3 on
the National
Qualifications Framework
and they carry UCAS
points, which will be
awarded according to the
grade achieved (A = 120,
B = 100, C = 80). Many
courses at university or
college will require you
to take A levels in
certain subjects. We
recommend you check the
requirements for those
courses and take the
appropriate subject A
levels. About Our A
Level Biology
Course This course is
made up of the AS level
and the A2 level. It is
based on two
approaches: 1)
The concept-led approach
includes study of the
laws, theories and
models of biology,
exploring the practical
application of these in
both knowledge and with
reference to everyday
life. 2) The
context-led approach
considers applications of
biological knowledge and
looks at the underpinning
concepts. This course
offers both approaches in
combination. This mixed
approach is more
appropriate for distance
learning students as
there is a need for
flexibility. The
assessment criteria and
structure is the same for
both approaches. After
each topic there will be
a tutor marked
assignment, which can be
emailed to your tutor as
an attachment in Word,
Works or RTF format. You
will be sent a welcome
letter by your tutor, as
soon as you make contact,
which will outline
assignment submission in
more detail. There is a
project element to both
the AS award and A2 award
which expect distance
learning students to
reflect on practical
biological knowledge as
well as theoretical. The
AS project will be based
upon a field visit; the
A2 project upon an
individual experiment.
Neither requires students
to have laboratory
access. Your AS project
will be marked and
moderated by an
independent coursework
marker at the centre
where you sit your
examinations. There may
be a fee for the marking.
All distance learning
students should download
the Private Candidates
Handbook from Edexcel's
website which gives you
guidance on finding an
examination centre and
registering.
International students
need to download the
specific handbook for
them, which will give
alternative examination
arrangements and other
details. Your A2 project
will be marked externally
and moderated by
Edexcel. The whole
course is based on
assessment objectives and
combines a number of
learning outcome
expectations. The
assessment objective
weightings for the AS
award are as follows:
AO1 Knowledge and
understanding of science
and of How Science
Works 30-34%
AO2 Application of
knowledge and
understanding of AO3
science and of How
Science Works 34-40%
AO3 How Science
Works 28%
Total 100% The
assessment objective
weightings for the A2
award are as follows:
AO1 Knowledge and
understanding of science
and of How Science
Works 26-30%
AO2 Application of
knowledge and
understanding of AO3
science and of How

What Can I Do
After Completing This A
Level in
Biology? Getting A
levels can provide you
with a variety of
options, such as work,

apprenticeship. After
successful completion of
this course, you could

himself and the problem

maintaining a belief

set up, etc? Have you

of things you do without
thinking - like wearing
the right clothes,
eating with the right
implements, or talking
in a particular way, and
wondered why you feel it
essential to behave in
this way? Have you

society as such and

Sociology A Level
About
A Levels A levels are
subject-specific
qualifications normally
studied after GCSEs or
International GCSEs,
though they are
appropriate at any age to
gain a qualification in a
subject in which you are
interested. The
qualification is made up
of two levels: the AS
level and the A2 level.
The AS level is the first
half of a full A level
and is a qualification on
its own. The A2 level
builds on the knowledge
gained from both the AS
level, as well as the
GCSE level. Both the AS
and A2 levels and
examinations must be
successfully completed to
gain a full A
level. Students usually
take 1 year to complete
the AS and a further year
to complete the A2 - so a
full A level usually
takes two years. This
fast track A level,
however, lets you
complete the course in
half the time (i.e. one
year instead of two
years). The fast track A
level works in exactly
the same way and you get
the same certificate as
you would on the two-year
course. A levels are
highly valued by schools,
colleges and employers.
They are at level 3 on
the National
Qualifications Framework
and they carry UCAS
points, which will be
awarded according to the
grade achieved (A = 120,
B = 100, C = 80). Many
courses at university or
college will require you
to take A levels in
certain subjects. We
recommend you check the
requirements for those
courses and take the
appropriate subject A
levels. About Our A
Level Sociology Studies
Course This A level
Sociology course aims to
give you some fundamental
and lasting insights into
how human societies are
constructed; how they
influence our beliefs and
daily lives. Sociology is
about developing a
critical understanding of
society, and through
this understanding
providing a basis for
highlighting and
explaining social
problems such as ill
health, poverty and
crime. As well as
learning about how
society influences
individual lives, you
will also learn how to
express yourself
coherently, how to
challenge and evaluate
information presented to
you and how scientific
information is
produced. The course
lays an appropriate
foundation for further
study of Sociology and
related subjects in
higher education. In
addition, it provides a
worthwhile course for
candidates of various
ages and from diverse
backgrounds in terms of
general education and
lifelong learning.
Equally, material
studied would be useful
for candidates intending
to pursue careers in any
of the Social
Sciences. Sociology is a
dynamic, ever changing
subject with new
information and studies
constantly confirming or
challenging existing
theories and producing
new ones. The subject
matter of sociology is
uniquely around and
within you, it is
essential that you are
curious about the why’s
and how’s of society's
processes in all settings
from cradle to grave,
from peer groups to
institutions like schools
and the class system. The
purpose of this course is
to help students look
around them in a more
analytical manner, to
understand and question
why things are the way
they are, and what can
be done to change the
more negative aspects of
our society. What Can I
Do After Completing This
A Level in
Sociology? Getting A
levels can provide you
with a variety of
options, such as work,
further study or an
apprenticeship. After
successful completion of
this course, you could
apply to university,

Reflexology
Course "After all,
health is only two feet
away!" Reflexology is
one of the fastest
growing holistic
therapies now gaining
worldwide acceptance. It
is based on the
scientific principle that
every organ in the body
is reflected in certain
reflexes in the
feet. About
Reflexology The feet are
a microcosm of the human
body. By manipulating the
reflex areas on the feet,
energy congestion in the
body is released. Correct
stimulation of the feet
reflexes, while the
client is relaxed,
improves the energy flow
and the blood
supply. This results in
an overall feeling of
well-being and this
enables the body to
function efficiently.
Reflexology is a
completely safe, natural
aid to restoring the

Nature and Role of
Marketing Analysis The
analysis of the market is
an important part of any
overall evaluation or
implementation of a
marketing strategy. The
techniques employed by
analysts can be used to
assess the correct
marketing mix, changing
market structures,
support or reject
hypotheses that have been
proposed and forecasting
or estimating market
potential, to name but a
few. This course looks at
the differences within
data, the range of data
that can be encountered
in marketing analysis and
some of the main
techniques used in the
evaluation of such
data. A marketing
analyst makes use of a
wide selection of
techniques from the
quantitative methods in
order to explain the
market, forecast
elements of the market
and support management
and corporate decision
making. The course
will examine techniques
from the quantitative
methods which find widest
use in the analysis of
markets, such as
hypothesis testing,
which can be used to
examine data and
statistics from samples
with a view to supporting
or rejecting assumptions
about the market
population. Regression
and correlation will be
examined as techniques
that can be employed to
assess the existence and
strength of relationships
within a market and also
their use as a possible
forecasting tool.
Finally, an introduction
will be made to a range
of multivariate
techniques, which have
found widest use in
marketing analysis in the
analysis of data from
questionnaires. It is
quite common to link the
multivariate methods to
enrich analyses. The
section covering these
methods will make use of
a case study to
demonstrate
this. Modern
approaches to analysis
make wide use of
questionnaires to obtain
primary data and computer
software to analyse data.
The first section of this
course will therefore
introduce different types
of data and the
approaches to coding data
for analysis. There
exists a wide range of
statistical packages to
analyse data; probably
the most widely used
package in the UK is
Statistical Package for
Social Sciences (SPSS),
which has been used to
facilitate analyses for
this course. By the
end of this course you
should be able
to: Section 1
Explain the use and
application of
variables. Distinguish
between the different
principal types of
variables. Explain and
identify four categories
of data measurement.
Understand the procedures
for coding data.
Distinguish between the
methods of summarising
data using location and
dispersion
measures. Section
2 Calculate a
standard Z score. Set
up a confidence interval
with known parameters.
Appreciate what is meant
by an hypothesis and
understand the difference
between a null hypothesis
and an alternative
hypothesis. Undertake
an hypothesis test and
appreciate the importance
of significance in
hypothesis testing.
Undertake a chi-square
test on two-dimensional
data (hypothesis on non-
parametric
data). Section
3 Understand the
nature of bivariate data

Franchising
Course Franchising is
neither an industry nor a
business. It is a
practical concept for the
effective distribution of
profits and/or services.
Recently this way of
doing business has become
increasingly
popular. This is
because franchising
combines the positive
qualities of large
organisations with those
of small businesses. We
can define this as fusing
the commitment and energy
of individuals with big
business
resources. This course
is designed to provide
students with an
introduction to
franchising - especially
those who are considering
investing in a franchise
business opportunity.

Accounting
Course Accounting is
designed to help those
with an interest in a
business, or other
organisation, to assess
its financial position
and performance. It aims
to communicate relevant
economic information to
interested parties and,
as a result, improve the
quality of decisions that
are made. Unless
accounting achieves this
purpose, it would really
be a waste of effort to
provide the information.
In this course we
consider the major
financial statements that
are produced by
businesses on a regular
basis to help in the
decision making process.
These financial
statements are designed
to provide an overview of
the business's financial
health and are widely
used by managers,
owners, suppliers,
customers and
others. About Accounting
Course We consider the
main principles
underpinning these
statements as well as
their strengths and
weaknesses. In addition.
We consider how these
statements can be
analysed in order to come
to some conclusions about
the financial health of a
business. This accouting
course requires no
previous knowledge of
accounting or finance.

Marketing
Course Marketing is
concerned with
identifying and
satisfying customers' and
consumers' needs. Its aim
is to ensure that the
business is able to
anticipate changes in
these needs, and to gain
and retain customers
efficiently and
profitably. Although
marketing is concerned
with satisfying these
needs, its scope goes
far beyond the process of
selling goods and
services. Indeed, to be
truly effective, the
marketing process needs
to be present throughout
the entire business
process, building on a
broad understanding of
the markets which the
business serves,
designing into the
product or service the
characteristics which
consumers and customers
will find attractive and
ensuring that the entire
business adopts policies
and strategies that cater
for their needs. About
our Marketing
Course Marketing is
sometimes presented as a
discrete, specialised
function or as a set of
techniques. But as this
marketing course will
make clear, a more
appropriate understanding
of marketing only emerges
when it is viewed as a
business philosophy or as
a principle around which
the business can be
organised and managed.

Art of Combining
Photography and Painting
Course This course is
primarily for people who
want to extend their
creative horizons. Even
those who have no
painting skills and have
little knowledge of
photography can learn
this craft. It does not,
however, preclude those
who already possess
photography or painting
skills. Imagination and
ingenuity are the chief
requisites for creating
beautiful images - images
that use techniques
described in
unpretentious prose along
with easy to follow
diagrams and
instructions. Throughout,
no sophisticated
photographic equipment is
required. Like any craft,
whether a person can use
these skills
professionally is
dependent upon the
prowess of the artist.
The course describes how
to create beautiful
miniatures and portraits
as well images both
surreal and abstract.
Through art one
learns the meaning of
life. (Ernst Kris,
psychoanalyst.)
